The trains also promise enhanced passenger experience through technology such as adaptable interior LED lighting, WiFi, USB ports, and efficient air-conditioning systems capable of providing pleasant interior temperatures even in extreme temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius.

Yes, in 2026, the majority of German trains—especially those operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB)—are equipped with USB ports, though the availability depends on the age and type of the train. On the flagship ICE (Intercity-Express) high-speed trains, you will find USB ports (often USB-A and increasingly USB-C) and standard European power outlets at almost every seat in both 1st and 2nd class. In the newer ICE 4 and refurbished ICE 3 models, these are usually located between the seats or integrated into the seatback in front of you. On regional trains (RB and RE), the situation is more varied; newer regional stock and the "S-Bahn" in major cities like Munich or Berlin often have USB charging points, whereas older cars might only have standard outlets or none at all. If you are traveling on the "Deutschlandticket" on older regional lines, it is always a good idea to carry a portable power bank, as charging infrastructure is still being retrofitted across the entire national network.
